Try them to fix the issue and regain access to your data if you get the error message while copying. Run QEMU (even a modern version) with ‘-vga std’, which is now the default, so on a new version you can leave -vga unspecified. Full solutions for 'Can not read from the source file or disk' error are available here. The troubleshooting guide documents several errors caused by viruses.
Windows NT will not install on a system infected by a virus. In this case, you should use the /T switch to specify a drive other than the target drive or the boot drive.
Maybe I tried a different one before? Anyway, use the SVGA driver here: If neither of these drives are available, Windows NT Setup may fail. My theory is that there are many strains and variations of the original Japheth SVGA patch floating around, and I’ve downloaded a lot of them. But without the driver, you’ve got 640×480 in 16 colors, and with it, a decent 1024×768 in 256, so it’s an improvement if only to have a big enough desktop that File Manager is comfortably usable. It’s pretty slow - you can actually watch the screen draw lines and paint windows, just like with QEMU’s vanilla VGA, so it’s probably not going to be fast enough for many games. So now I went back and tried it again, and now it worked. And I’m sure I actually did, and it failed, just like it did for the OP author. In fact, the original post mentions doing this, so if I’d forgotten, this post would have reminded me to try it. It worked! The thing that disturbs me though is, I’m certain I did not neglect to try this before. Instead of using ‘-vga cirrus’, I tried for ‘-vga std’, and used the patched version of the Microsoft 256-color SVGA driver, just as I had done previously to get 1024×768/8bit in DOSEMU. Just thought I’d follow up about Windows 3.1 SVGA in QEMU: If it was only about the music, it would be crazy, but I like the production process enough that for me it’s also become about how the sausage is made.Īnyway, it amazes me that QEMU made this Cirrus emulation with the specific intention of being as compatible as possible, and it’s actually evolved into the finickiest video chipset real or virtual that I think I’ve ever seen anywhere. Basically, I’ve gone off the deep end with this. I more or less collect audio/MIDI tools on DOS, Windows 3.1, WIN32, MacOS, Commodore 64/128, Amiga, Atari, and I’m on Linux natively, and I try to have all the tools (toys?) available, in emulation if possible, but also actual old hardware is an option as well with its own problems and advantages. The reason I’m doing all this old platform emulation is because I never want to give up my old MIDI/studio software.
(Certainly DOSemu is quite hit and miss.) It looks like, short of going back to an earlier QEMU, there’s probably no Windows 3.1 SVGA for me. Have you received the Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition You can find the answer in this post. Please remember to mark the replies as an answers if they help.It’s ok, I already have Windows 3.1 SVGA working in DOSemu using Microsoft’s patched 256-color driver, but because I’m greedy and I want it all, I wanted to see if I could have it available and fully working in current QEMU as well, since each of these virtualization options has its own problems and advantages. Then, mount the 3.1 ISO and go to the drive letter shown (I guess it would be D:), then type 'setup' and hit enter. It'll tell you which drive letter represents the virtual CD drive. Reboot into DOS again, and the CD driver will be run. Since your laptop can still see other USB drives and the particular USB drive can be seen by other computer, if the above steps still not work, I would suspect that there was some compatibility issues between this USB drive and your USB port. Get Microsoft CD Extensions for MS-DOS (it's one floppy image) from BetaArchive and install it in DOS. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this information.ĭid you try to plug your USB device to a different port and then check again? If your hard drive is unallocated, select the 'Configure unallocated disk space. This is because Windows 3.1 is an operating environment that runs on top of MS-DOS.
